Chapter 209: Darkness or Food?
"Curry rice, it's curry rice again?"
Yuuki Asuna and Eiri Riri couldn't help but hide their red lips and retched when they saw the curry rice that Mu Fan served, and almost didn't spit it out directly.
The beef curry rice made by Mu Fan that day is definitely the darkest memory of the dishes they have eaten since they were children.
When they think of the beef curry rice that day, their faces turn white and they feel that the whole person is not good, and because of this, they have developed a phobia of curry rice, and they can't help but want to vomit when they see the curry rice.
He even secretly vowed not to eat curry rice again.
It's so unpalatable that it's like taking a bite of a spice when it is mixed with a variety of spices, and it's not an exaggeration to call it a dark dish.
But now, he actually came to the stage with his dark cuisine, didn't he get the first place, is he going to disgust the judges?
"Mu Fan, we really can't see through you."
Thinking that he was in a hurry to squeeze a motorcycle to the food festival venue just now, Mu Fan was about to take out dark dishes to disgust the judges, and Yuuki Assuna and Ying Li Li were a little crying and laughing.
In the audience, Erina Nagikiri looked at the egg pack curry rice served by Mu Fan, and her two eyebrows frowned slightly: "Curry rice, such a thing, compared with the fragrant bamboo glutinous rice made of scarlet yarn before, Ruishan's pizza and the most popular New Orleans beef burger in Jeno, there is always a little gap, right?" ”
Not only Erina Nagikiri, but even Ginto Dojima and Kojiro Shinomiya on the field felt that this kind of cuisine could not be compared with world-renowned cuisine, at most it could make Mu Fan win the fourth place, and the top three were untouchable.
"There is only such a short time left, and I can't make world-famous dishes, and sure enough, it's a chef from the countryside who only makes this kind of low-level cuisine."
Jeno from the American Cuisine Academy stood on the stage, looking at the dishes made by Mu Fan, and couldn't help but sneer.
But as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a strange fragrance, like a damp sea breeze brought by the raging waves of the sea, swept through the entire arena almost instantly, and even the spectators sitting in the spectatorium on the second floor smelled this wonderful spice.
"What?"
Jeno looked at the judging stand in horror.
"Well... It's so fragrant, what does it smell like? ”
"Oh my God, it's so fragrant, just smelling this food makes you hungry."
At the same time, the nose absorbed the scented air, leaving the audience speechless in shock.
Suddenly, a shout came, and someone found the source and pointed to the judging table: "It's a curry made with spices, look, the judge has already taken the egg pack curry rice cut with a spoon, and this smell is coming from the curry rice." ”
"It's a fresh spice ......"
At the same time, the recent Chimi Natsuya smelled this familiar spice and was also surprised: "Using the wrapping of eggs to lock the aroma of spices in it when cooking, and forming a spice bomb at the moment of opening, it turned out to be such a wonderful idea." ”
This alone is a perfect score for creativity.
Several of the other judges were also a little surprised.
It's just that while enjoying the aroma of this spice bomb, no one dares to use the spoon in their hands.
But with so many spices blended together, the spices are not equal, will it really be delicious?
But when you smell the omelet rice, the taste is not as pungent as the spices fused together, but there is a familiar charm in it, what is this charm?
Not only the five closest judges, but even the audience in the audience at the same time rose a familiar charm in their minds.
But the smell was like a fluctuating cloud of smoke, so they couldn't touch it, and they couldn't remember where it came from for a short time.
The first to do it was Chiri Natsuya, her hand trembling and holding a spoon, scooping a spoonful of curry and putting it in her mouth, the moment she entered her mouth, the smell of spices exploded in her mouth.
To her surprise, several spices were fused together, not only were they as unpalatable as she imagined, but they had a mellow artistic conception, and this taste prompted her to continue eating.
The other four judges on the side saw that Chinatari Natsuya kept holding a spoon, and all of them subconsciously cut the curry rice wrapped in their own eggs in the aroma bomb, and scooped a spoonful of curry into their mouths.
As soon as the curry rice was served, several people suddenly found themselves inadvertently hungry. The expression on his face became extremely complicated, and he scooped a spoonful of curry rice and put it in his mouth.
"Strange, why do the judges keep eating curry and rice without talking?"
Everyone in the audience looked at several people on the judging stage in astonishment and began to discuss.
"That curry rice looks so good, I want to try it too......"
Looking at the five judges who were happily eating curry rice, Takasaka Hono couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
In the eyes of everyone's doubts, among the five judges, Kojiro Shinomiya was the first to raise his head: "The appearance of the rice here is wrapped in the egg liquid, which makes the taste of the egg and the rice perfectly integrated, and there is a wonderful taste when you bite into it, before making curry rice, the egg is beaten into the rice, and with superb skills, the rice and the egg are completely fused." ”
I recalled the eggs that Mu Fan beat into the pot before, which was not only to make eggs wrapped in curry on the outside, but also to add eggs to the rice to form the so-called golden rice.
There is nothing to be faulty about in terms of texture and taste alone.
But this is not the end, Dojima Silver on the side muttered: "Moreover, the smell from the spices actually hit my taste buds like an angry wave, it seems that because of the use of the beef bone broth prepared by the previous contestants, it completely penetrates into the rice, and the pork is stewed with honey, forming a small pot with the same pineapple juice, making it tender and delicious, so at this moment, the curry rice is almost integrated, and it gives it an extra meaty aroma." ”
Although all of the dishes are made with leftover ingredients, the taste is not worse than the previous three.
At this moment, the five judges realized that what Mu Fan was doing was not a dark dish at all, but a dish full of whimsical ideas.
"It's a blend of cumin, fennel, nutmeg and butter that seeps into the curry, and the aroma is so mellow that you can't help but be immersed in it."
Natsuya Chitari tasted the spices that were fused with the curry rice, and suddenly, her mind inadvertently recalled her childhood.
Chitatsu Natsuya was stunned and stopped what she was doing, she seemed to remember the food that her mother had prepared for her when she was hungry when she was hungry as a child.
That feeling of happiness and sweetness made her unforgettable.
But the time for the family to get together is always short, she went out to work hard, and when she worked hard to build her career, there was the sad news that her mother was seriously ill and died.
At this moment, Chitata Natsuya finally caught what the familiar taste just now came from, the mellow taste in the curry rice, which belongs to the taste of her mother, from this simple egg pack curry rice.
"This simple dish contains such a strong emotion." When she came back to her senses, the tears of Chitatsu Natsuya couldn't help but slide down her cheeks and fall to the ground.
Looking at Mu Fan standing in front of her, at this moment, she was secretly frightened in her heart, she never thought that a young man who was less than twenty years old would have reminded her of the familiar taste of home and the deceased mother through this simple dish.
At this moment, she finally understood why this curry rice was infused with so many spices, not only not pungent, but full of mellow flavor.
It turns out that the spice contains the mellow flavor of Longjing, and the most important neutralizing ingredient, milk! Replacing the time of breastfeeding as a child with milk makes people can't help but recall the past, and it turns out that this egg pack curry rice has such a unique artistic conception.
At this moment, Chitatsu Xia Ya finally understood a truth.
Yes, cooking is just something that fills in people's stomachs, and no matter how you evaluate whose food is delicious, it's just the most vague definition of taste.
Just like a steamed bun when you are hungry, you can feel the deliciousness in it.
And the most truly delicious cuisine in the world is the only one that can awaken people's memories with the most care and authenticity.....
"The judges were in tears......"
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim when they looked at Chiren Xia Ya with crystal tears in the corners of their eyes.
Qianyu Xia Ya looked at Mu Fan: "There is no milk on the field, and it takes extremely fresh and pure milk to neutralize so many spices, where did you find it in such a short period of time?" ”
"Secret."
The taste of the spices was oily and greasy due to the use of oil, and just now, Mu Fan finally made a breakthrough in curry rice, he did not answer Chitatsuya Natsuya's question, but just glanced back at the trash can placed on the field, where there was a box of [Musashino] brand milk......
